Successfully managing Customs & Global Trade

The increased number of trade agreements and abruptly changing regulatory landscape coupled with fragmented logistics execution and evolved business dynamics pose a real challenge to companies. Deloitte brings technology-aided customs and global trade expertise to clients facing such scenarios.

Challenges in Global Trade

With the expansion of international trade, global players are facing legal compliance requirements that will further increase in number and become progressively more complex, more costly and more risky.

Complex organisational structures, isolated IT-environments and diverse approaches of customs authorities can blur the insight into the company's customs position.

Managing Customs & Global Trade

Global trade complexity management: support companies to comply with various import and export regulations on an international level and to be prepared for government audits.

Optimised data organisations: enlarge a company's ability to properly manage, plan, control and report international trade costs and customs duties.

Improvement of existing business processes and the systems they are based on: ensure cross-functional communication and cooperation. As a result, a company is flexible to change supply chain processes and the underlying transaction structure.
